Clementine:
"That's hectic. They're asking us to join another mission," I complained after we finished eating. As I walked ahead, I noticed Ian keeping a good distance from us, while the others stayed right beside me. We had been talking about the missions and everything, and of course Ian wasn't involved, just like he'd told us he never would be.
"Isn't it odd?" Haiden asked, pointing at Ian. "He's been awfully quiet. Usually he would argue or speak his mind."
We all stared at Ian in silence. Haiden wasn't wrong. Ian usually had something to say, but now his silence felt deadly.
"Aren't you guys happy he's quiet for a minute?" Troy remarked.
I agreed. It was better for him to stay quiet, because if he started talking, all the stress we were feeling would double.
